All programs that are resident, or currently running, have a small
signature in memory. If a program uses DOS to allocate data blocks, they
will also show up here. This signature gives the name of the program (in
most cases), and the memory it is using.
MCB: Memory Control Block, the segment where the program is.
PSP: Program Segment Prefix, holds specific information about the
program. Various important vectors, pointer to the environment, and
the commands you pass onto the program (like /h).
Parent: This is the segment that 'owns' the program. In other words the
program that called it.
Env: A block will show here if that memory block is the environment to
a program.
Owner: The programs name, or it's owners name.
Interrupts: A list of interrupts (in hexadecimal) that the program appears
to have taken over, or at least point into the memory being
used by the program.
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
